Common Questions

We calculate our cash offer price with a simple equation. We typically take the after repair value (ARV) of your home, subtract the estimated repair costs, and then apply a discount to determine our cash offer. The discount is 30% and accounts for our closing costs, holding costs and profit. An example would be a house that will retail for $250k after repairs and updating that needs $50k to get it sellable. In this example we would take 70% of 250 which is $175k and then subtract the $50k repair cost to get our offer of $125k.

One major benefit you have with us is that we can typically have repairs and updating done at a much lower cost than you might ge t by hiring contractors on your own. This is because of volume. Being in business since 2005, we have developed a network of trusted contractors and suppliers, allowing us to negotiate better rates and pass the savings on to you.

You choose the closing date. The closing process typically takes between 7 to 30 days. But we can shorten that even more or stretch it out depending on your needs. We have been doing this since 2005 in which time we've developed a great relationship with a local title company. This allows us to move quickly if necessary.

Nope. We really do buy houses as-is, so you don't have to worry about making any repairs before selling. Regardless of the condition of the home, we will handle all necessary repairs and updates after the purchase. As a family-owned, local business, we actually take a lot of pride if fixing up houses. We live for the before and after transformations.

Market value is determined by what the house is worth in its current condition. This is calculated by seeing what similar houses are selling for in the immediate area. Our cash offer is typically lower than the market value because it accounts for the cost of repairs, the time it will take to sell the house, and our need to make a profit. This allows us to buy your house quickly and without the hassle of traditional selling methods.

This trade-off is worth it for many sellers as can be seen by the positive feedback and testimonials from our previous clients.

Nope. There is no obligation if you receive an offer from us. You are free to accept or decline the offer without any pressure. We certainly do not buy every house we see. Our goal is to provide you with a fair cash offer and make the selling process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Absolutely. We can still buy your house even if you still owe money on it. We will work with your lender to pay off your existing mortgage as part of the closing process.

We close at a reputable local title company, Old Republic Title. They ensure that all the necessary paperwork is completed correctly and that the transaction is handled smoothly and securely. They will be in communication with you about anything they will need from, which usually is not much. Once everything is in order, they will schedule with you to either come in to their office or handle the closing remotely if that is more convenient for you. We recommend you go in to close as they can walk you through the documents that you will be signing. Once both parties sign, you will receive your funds and the title company will handle paying property taxes and any liens like your mortgage.

Most sellers do not need any documents to sell their house. This is because the title company gathers what is needed from the county records. If you have an existing loan, the title company will need some information to be able to request a payoff. If there are any specific documents that are required, the title company will let you know.

Yes, we will pay off your existing mortgage at closing. The title company will handle requesting the payoff from your lender and ensure that the mortgage is paid off as part of the closing process.

No problem! It is just a fact that many houses in San Antonio have foundation problems due to the type of soil in Bexar County. We buy houses with foundation problems all the time.

Yes, we can buy a house with tenants in it. We will work with you to ensure a smooth transition for both you and your tenants. We will honor any written leases you currently have. Many times if the tenants are current and want to stay, we continue to rent to them after purchase.

We can absolutely buy your house even if it is foreclosure. Bad things can happen to good people. We know the stress going through a foreclosure creates. We have bought houses within days of the auction.

Yes. We buy houses with hoarder situations more often than you might think. We understand that these situations can be overwhelming, and we are experienced in handling them with care and discretion.

No problem. We can still make an offer to buy the house even if the property is in probate. The judge will need to approve the sale, but this usually isn't an isssue. We can even work with you in situations where probate has not started or there is no will.

We have and do buy houses with fire and water damage. You can sell the house to us as-is and move on with your life.

Yes, in most situations we are willing to negotiate price. We try to give fair offers based on the current market value and condition of the property, but we are open to discussing terms that work for both of us.

We pay all normal closing costs when we buy your house. This includes title insurance, escrow fees, and any other standard costs associated with closing the sale.

No problem. As long as the cost to remove the liens does not exceed the proceeds of the sale, the title company will handle paying off the liens from the sale proceeds at closing.

Yes. We can still buy your house even with back taxes due, as long as the amount owed can be paid off with the proceeds from the sale of the house to us.

You can leave behind whatever you do not want. Most sellers prefer to leave what they do not want behind because the stress of selling the house and moving is already enough. We will take care of the removal of any items you leave behind at no additional cost to you.

You can choose your cosing date so that you have as much time as you need to move out. If you are in a situation where you need the funds from the sale of the house, we can work with you to provide a short-term lease back so you have time after you receive proceeds from the sale.

We can close faster than 7 days in most cases. Some situations where we cannot is when there are things out of our control like not being able to get all required heirs to sign or probate situations where approval from the court cannot happen that fast.

We can typically accomodate a short-term lease back to allow you to stay in the house for a period of time after closing, giving you the flexibility to move out at your own pace.

Many sellers choose to sell to us over listing with an agent because of the convenience and speed. Not having to make repairs or clean out a house, is reason enough for many people. Additionally, selling to us eliminates the uncertainty of waiting for a buyer to be approved for a mortgage and the risk of the deal falling through.

The cases we recommend sellers go with an agent are when the house is in excellent condition and the seller is not in a hurry. In these situations, it typically makes more sense for you to list the house traditionally to potentially get a higher sale price.

We are different than the majority of cash home buyers in San Antonio in that we have been in business longer than most. Since 2003, we have bought hundreds of houses. This gives you certainty you are not as likely to have with our competitors. We also pride ourselves on transparency and fairness in our offers, ensuring you know exactly what to expect throughout the process.

We are finding there to be many more "wholesalers" in San Antonio since 2020. These companies will make you an offer to buy the house only to turn around and market the contract to "end buyers" like Danny Buys Houses. You can avoid the middleman by working directly with us, ensuring a smoother and more transparent transaction. This simple question will help you know whether you are dealing with a wholesaler, "Are you the end buyer or are you going to assign the contract to someone else?"

The answer here depends on the situation. If your home needs a lot of repairs, you likely will end up selling to a cash buyer like us anyway, but with an agent you will also be paying thousands in commissions. If your home does not need a lot of repairs, but rather updating, you may be able to get a higher offer but there will be a tradeoff of time and the extra cost of commisssions. If your home is in excellent condition and you are not in a hurry, listing traditionally usually yields a higher offer, but it comes with the uncertainty of waiting for a buyer and the potential for the deal to fall through.

We have been buying houses in San Antonio since 2003.

Of course! We have a page dedicated to customer reviews here as well as dozens of reviews on Google, Facebook, Yelp and the Better Business Bureau. We also have testimonial videos on our YouTube channel.

No problem. Our agreements state that we simply get our earnest mmoney that we paid back. We understand that circumstances can change and we will never force anyone to sell.
